We always love finding old Coca-Cola #signage as it takes us right back to the time when the company gave these signs away for free to businesses that sold their product. All the small businesses had to do was add their own copy, usually in the form of enamel #lettering that was also supplied by #cocacola. #signgeeks #tv_retrotype #jj_texttypographical #signcollective #typevstime #ipulledoverforthis #gas_food_lodging #trb_ipoft_signs #guardiancities #storefront #disappearingfaceofnewyork #vintage #signsofgrime #myfeatureshoot #filthyfacades

I was down in Mojave last week. I could only go out and photograph one day and have wanted to photograph around Oak Creek for a while. Oak Creek is a back road between Mojave and Tehachapi. It goes through the wind farms. As you drive up it, the vegetation changes as the altitude increases.

I had another shot without motion blur on the windmills, but I decided on this one.

Mouth-washing, diesel-gargling, carbon-brushed, breath-reeking, blackened-jugs, tumbling, in slow-idle, chomping-at-the-bit, like so many horses waiting, waiting to team their brawn; to push forward behind their flag-bearer waving a faded-to-lead, black and white ‘stead red, white and blue against a backdrop of gritty armour yellow, grey-dulled by repeated internal and external heatings while just beyond the soot-stained flutes, flange-squeal, slack-action, multi-modal-merica, tables-stacked, doubled-up, express-charging federal’s banner blurs.

This ‪#‎barber‬ shop not only had an amazing old ‪#‎sign‬ and ‪#‎handpainted‬ gold leaf lettering in the window but also had stenciled ‪#‎barbershop‬ tools including scissors, razors and brushes along the top of the roll gate. We also loved all the old ‪#‎signage‬ in the windows showing the variety of ‪#‎hair‬ cuts and styles they specialized in. 35 mm film photo is from 2004 and appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". Sadly this Nostrand Avenue ‪#‎storefront‬ went out of business in 2006 and was replaced by an instant refund tax center with very bland signage. ‪#‎signgeeks‬ ‪#‎disappearingfaceofnewyork‬ ‪#‎jj_texttypographical‬ ‪#‎jj_doorsandwindows‬ ‪#‎type‬ ‪#‎typography‬ ‪#‎typevstime‬ ‪#‎font‬ ‪#‎tv_retrotype‬ ‪#‎tv_typography‬ ‪#‎ipulledoverforthis‬ ‪#‎signofgrime‬

Arriving just in time to pixilate this electrifying capture, an eastbound BNSF stack sees green at the east end of double track on the Columbia River Sub. Already, the hiss of releasing brakes slithers through the blackness as Zeus hurls a brace of negatively-charged cloud-to-ground lighting bolts that crack the scene like a broken mirror. Undisturbed, the hogger gets his mile-long snake of stacks slipping away towards Spokane. (© 08Jun18)

02:56 crew change at Cole’s Crossing (homestead in the background) somewhere along US 2 between night and a barley dozen degree morning. In the 45 cab, Eastern Washington Gateway Engineer “Jay” Pospisil (aka Popsicle) and Conductor Scott Rohrig have just been briefed by and relieved the previous crew to continue the train’s trek west on the venerable “CW.” Some 2100 feet into the icy, countlessly pinholed-black, flashing-red Fred dutifully comms control-stand-perched Mary he’s good-to-go and Jay releases the binders throttle in opposite hand opens it to give his horses the gitty up. Just above the headlight I spot Orion’s belt and I pause to consider how much tonnage this inimitable ’69 LaGrange mare has hauled about murica while she proudly wore Espee’s iconic scarlet and grey dress, and how many tons she helped shove black and blue over Mullan Pass while stabled, fed and ploughing for Montana Rail Link? Here on the EWG, she still earns her keep: daily, for the foreseeable future. Rolling, and that unmistakable squeaking of flexing flexicoil trucks and EMD turbo whine fade and vanish into the arctic darkness, my image securely frozen in timeless time. (23Dec17 ©)

Out here “at” Hanson because there is no town to be “in,” this cold December night’s scintillating circumpolar stars streak through the heavens as they arc about the North Star leaving 468 seconds (that’s 1.95 degrees of angle, for you star buffs) of trails carved into space and time. It’s 04:24, and what hubristic Northern Pacific land-grabbers had hoped would become a thriving community as its built-in-the-very-late 1800’s Central Washington branch line was surveyed to serve the expectant rise of hamlet Hanson never materialized. Save for the Aermotor well tower sans its windmill and vane of the lone long-vanished homestead, more likely, the lonely outpost for the former elevator operator and family just across the county road from the two sets of elevators and “station” sign are all that tangibly mark Hanson as an actual place. At 2110 feet, some plus or minus 200 feet higher than the two whistle-stops a few mile poles down either direction of clickety-clack, the elevators are still served from time-to-time as the scene at hand shows and glows red from the flashing EOT hanging on the shadow of a five-car-cut of covered hoppers leaving the Hanson elevator track being picked up by the westbound Washington Eastern Scoot Train. The cars will be set out at Hartline only to be brought east for unloading with the next eastbound Scoot Train on account Hanson’s east switch having been removed due to damage years ago making it safer and easier to move the loads west, then east. Indeed, “through hardship to the stars,” the Central Washington has survived through two mergers, several owners and operators, with the most recent operator, Washington Eastern of the Western Group, granted a 10-year operating agreement by CW owner WSDOT to breath new life into the venerable line.

🍳🍔 Empire Diner is one of the last free-standing diners left in Manhattan and is located inside a 1946 Fodero Dining Car. It closed in 2015, after a second failed attempt to revive it. This photo was taken in 2009 before the #miniature stainless steel stylized #Empire State Building @empirestatebldg replica was removed from its roof. Photo and full interview with former owner Carolyn Benitez appear in our book "New York Nights". #storefront #tv_retrotype #jj_texttypographical #signgeeks #typevstime #signcollective #gas_food_lodging #ipulledoverforthis #igs_nyc #guardiancities #reportagespotlight #myfeatureshoot

“What Causes Us to Marvel at the Stars: Our Curiosity, Our Creation, Our Creator?”

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Ursa Major (The Great She-Bear), better known as the “Big Dipper,” sprawls across the pure early evening Northern Hemisphere as Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad SD45-2 328 seems to be chasing it through the darkness with its searching headlight near Cemetery Road just west of sleepy, like Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” hamlet, Davenport.

Vallejo, CA - July 2019

S&S Diner on the edge of the #Wynwood Arts District in Miami was established in 1938. The #diner had a horseshoe-shaped counter with stool seating that held only 18 people. There were no private tables or booths and was cash only serving just breakfast ☕️🍳 or lunch 🍔🍟. Unfortunately the #vintage diner was forced to close in 2016 after the land it is located on was sold for $33 million to a real estate developer. Sadly another victim of this neighborhood's #gentrifcation. #miami #signgeeks #tv_retrotype #typography #dailytype #storefront #typevstime #gas_food_lodging #ipulledoverforthis #signcollective #signage

Luigi's Pizza in Park Slope, Brooklyn has been in business since 1973. We absolutely love @luigispizzaparkslope 's #signage with the #script #lettering and are huge fans of their fresh mozzarella #pizza 🍕which is sprinkled with their home-grown fresh herbs. The 2nd-generation owner Giovanni Lanzo told us, "my father Luigi emigrated here from Calabria where he was a farmer. He opened this #Pizzeria using his family's recipes for the sauce and pizza. He still grows many of the fresh ingredients we use including tomatoes 🍅 and herbs 🌿 at his farm in Staten Island". Photo from 2006 and full interview with Giovanni appear in our book, "Store Front:The Disappearing Face of New York". #storefront #signgeeks #tv_retrotype #ipulledoverforthis #gas_food_lodging #signcollective #jj_texttypographical #everything_signage #ig_signage #typevstime #fontastic

This one-stop shop for toys, cards, office supplies 📓✂️, sporting goods ⚽️🏈🏀, gifts, games, bicycles 🚲, and stationery has a great #vintage #handpainted sign. We are not sure how they fit all those items into this small #store but the window displays were jam packed.

Williams Seafood in Savannah, Georgia has an amazing #vintage #neonsign with, coincidently wonderful Christmas colors. This seafood restaurant had its beginnings as a roadside concession in 1936 and later expanded into a full sit-down restaurant. Although no longer in business this oversize #neon remains. #signgeeks #signage #tv_retrotype #signcollective #ig_signage #everything_signage #ipulledoverforthis #gas_food_lodging #jj_texttypographical #fontastic #signsofgrime #signswitharrows #typevstime

It was known for its retro vibe and Southern comfort food like Mac-and-Cheese and barbecue ribs. The space where Duke's was located as well as the adjoining restaurant City Crab will be the new location of Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe. We are not sure what happened to all of its #neon and #vintage #signage but hope that it was saved.
